So if it's pre-planned then Obama was stupid and duped into following it, or he is executing the plan as prescribed. Most previous presidents are
kept in the loop to offer advice and consult, did Obama ask Bush anything? Did Obama gather Bushes generals and military advisors about dealing with
the middle east or did he fire them and leave it to Valerie? Or maybe he was just concentrating on the middle east problems with extremist and needed
golf to meditate to acquire the answer.

Whatever anyone feels it is, he has been a tremendous failure at foreign policy, and the amount of lives he has cost in terms of our people and theirs
has yet to be mentioned by the MSM. I wonder if he feels the slightest amount of remorse for the way ISIS has gone through murdering people for the
last year when he knew about it all along.

Think about the avenue that Obama is taking to justify strikes on Syria... ISIS were unheard of when the Syrian conflict began and I actually believe
ISIS are a patsy because Assad hasn't come falling to the ground like the other countries did.. It's us that are being duped.. Not them.

No one should worry their pretty little heads about the current state of affairs, either with foriegn or domestic policies.

Everything is going according to plan.

These plans were laid down several decades ago and there is but one way to alter their course.

It is not by a revolution, as some may suggest, it is through a well planned and highly counter movement by the entire world's citizenry. An armed
uprising and revolt is what those in power fully expect and for which they have provided.

When the time comes there will come a change in everything these men have set about to have and it will all slip away from them and all who follow
after them.

Sorry I am just not following, is it the people of the US that are duped? And Obama is using ISIS as an excuse to attack syria because rebels haven't
been able to do the job?

Personally I lay this right at obamas feet. If I remember correctly, President Bush planned to leave some troops in Iraq to help the new government
with intel. When obama pulled all the troops out it left a vacume and we get the mess we have now. Also it was on the radio a few nights ago that in
obamas intelligent briefings that he knew about isis for over a year, yet during his briefing he never asked for more information or clarification on
anything.

There has been a plan to topple these countries for a long time including the country that is putting up a stiff resistance right now. I don't know
whether Bush just happened to get something right or not but what I do know is that Syria has been on the radar for a very long time.. So in my mind I
have no doubt that those twats would of had a back up plan if things didn't fall into place.

The international community (Russia, Iran, China) were never going to let the USA just stroll into Syria. So it must be speculated that the West were
going to somehow find a way to get in there eventually. Maybe ISIS were a part of it, maybe they weren't but what ISIS are doing has given the USA and
some of there allies the justification to now launch strikes against Syria. Coincidence? Who knows.

As for the people being duped, it doesn't just apply to the USA.. People are being duped everyday with many different scenarios. It's just the way the
world rolls these days. From my personal perspective, it's pre-planned all the way and if the USA didn't plan it, the Saudi's or some other bunch of
idiots did.

Ok got it, I have seen the video of Clark, he has it pretty darn close. It just makes wonder what the master plan is, and why he didn't meet an
untimely end after making the announcement. And what is gained by taking Syria down?

The master plan is right next too Syria... But that is just my opinion.

Oh I get it. You guys actually think the President has some sort of over-arching authority in this country. That's sad. And so very naïve. The
President is a puppet. The people that run this country and make these kinds of decisions are well removed from the entire Administration. The
President's role is to simply act as a 'face' to sell their agenda when needed/where needed. It's been that way for decades and we were
sufficiently warned about it back then, too. But the system is genius, really. Keep us all watching the marionettes and arguing over DEM v. GOP
while they go about BAU.

Bush a prophet? I don’t think so. That’s like saying Cheney was a compassionate, selfless servant of the people.

If, in 2007, Bush FINALLY realized some of the consequences of his mindless, muderous blunder in Iraq, then maybe I can buy that. It’s just too bad
it didn’t cross his mind before getting us into that horrific nightmare in the first place.

I believe the timeline for withdrawal of troops from Iraq was set by Bush, well before Obama came along. Also, if memory serves me correctly, the
Obama administration did want to leave a small, but adequate, force in Iraq, but Iraq would not allow it. They didn’t want us there. The Iraqi
government insisted that if any troops remained they would not be immuned from prosecution by the state in cases where violations of civil law
occurred. A combat force cannot operate under these conditions. They would all end up in the slammer. Therefore, we had no choice but to withdraw all
combat troops and cease operations. We were told to leave.

Bottom line is, if we hadn’t gone into Iraq in the first place, it would not have been overrun by terrorist groups like ISIL. Saddam Hussein may
have been a bad guy, but he ruled his country with an iron fist and he hated terrorist groups. He didn’t allow the likes of Al Qaeda to setup shop
in his land. He considered them a threat to his own power and strictly forbid their presence. If we hadn’t gone in and crushed his army, destroyed
the country’s infrastructure, killed over 100,000 innocent Iraqi citizens, and generally pillaged the land, then ISIL would be a non-issue today. I
think Bush was just too mentally challenged to envision the consequences of an invasion, while Cheney was too obsessed with the money to be made from
it (Halliburton made out like a bandit in Iraq).

But go ahead and blame it, and everything else in the world, on Obama. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a righteous lynching. Frankly, I’m
glad we have a President right now who actually uses his brain and thinks before acting. It’s trigger happy, cowboy politics that got us into this
mess in the first place. So, we just crawl along as a nation, repeating the same mindless, self-destructive mistakes of the past over, and over again.
We never learn.

God Bless America!!

PS: I think Obama's behind this whole deal with the recent extreme solar flare activity, and the possible CME heading toward Earth right now. He
wants it to cause major disruptions/failures of the main power grids. You see, if we have major power failures across the country then, while the
lights are out, Obama can declare martial law and take all our guns away! I haven’t quite connected all the dots yet, but it does make perfect
sense...

Syria has Iran helping them and investing money in their country,they are allies

After Syria Iran logically becomes the next to topple

I'm pretty sure by then even the young western leaning Iranians will have worked out what America is up too so I don't think a revolution will
gather a lot of support

That leaves Israel as a potential fire starter,who know we will have to wait and see

I guess the part I am missing is to what end does it help or benefit the US if Syria is toppled? What did we gain from the change in government in
egypt? If and a huge if, we gained anything in Iraq we have lost it all with Obama. I could see it if we got something besides fallen soldiers, but
what a waste of life.

So if it's pre-planned then Obama was stupid and duped into following it, or he is executing the plan as prescribed. Most previous presidents are
kept in the loop to offer advice and consult, did Obama ask Bush anything? Did Obama gather Bushes generals and military advisors about dealing with
the middle east or did he fire them and leave it to Valerie? Or maybe he was just concentrating on the middle east problems with extremist and needed
golf to meditate to acquire the answer.

Whatever anyone feels it is, he has been a tremendous failure at foreign policy, and the amount of lives he has cost in terms of our people and theirs
has yet to be mentioned by the MSM. I wonder if he feels the slightest amount of remorse for the way ISIS has gone through murdering people for the
last year when he knew about it all along.

Not so sure. Do you really think he was worse in foreign policy than Bush, who actually started two wars? That's a valid question. Keep in mind
also that he used Gates, the same guy Bush used.

Everybody acts like Bush just slammed his hand down on the desk and said "Thats it we are off to kick the crap out of Iraq." But it sure seemed to
me he went way out of his way to get everyone in both houses to sign off on it, something Obama doesn't seem interested in, while being able to
garner over 40 coalition members. If Obama is going to build a coalition he needs to lead the way with our boots as well, it would have to be tough to
get anyone to commit if you won't.

I think I trust the whole lot of them Gates, Bush, Cheney, Obama, Panetta, Plame, as far as I can throw them combined.

The only ones benefiting from an Shia downfall in Iran and Syria are the Sunni regime states in the Gulf.
